Battle of Prosnes

The Battle of Prosnes (10 June 1918) was a battle of World War I that occurred when the Imperial German Army launched an offensive against Allied forces on the Champagne front towards the end of the war. The 145th Regiment, 37th Division AEF of the American Expeditionary Forces saw action for the first time in the battle, fighting alongside two poilu regiments of the French Army and one Belgian regiment. The Allied troops seized a German trench before being forced back, and the Germans captured the Allied trench after fierce fighting. The Germans proceeded to seize the next Allied trench as well, driving the Allies back in one of their successes during their Spring Offensive.
